Dedicated to all lovers of this delicate melting delicacy...
Background reading is required...
Currently, there are very few manufacturers who care not only about the economy and taste of their product, but also about its usefulness, so for the most part the composition of ice cream is very poor . Unfortunately. Instead of natural milk fat, palm oil and harmful trans fats are used, and the sweet mass is formed by a huge number of emulsifiers, thickeners, dyes, stabilizers, and flavor enhancers. Neither the high cost, nor the popularity of the brand, nor the caloric content of ice cream in any way indicate its quality. You need to accept this as a fact and try to eat ice cream a little less often than you would like. This is if we talk about harm to health.
If we consider exclusively the harm to the figure, the point is the following - the more different additives, the higher the nutritional value. For example, the calorie content of ice cream sundae in its pure form will be lower than a similar product, but in a cone with a chocolate bullet and sugary jam. Extra calories are added by: cookies, caramel, jam, waffle cups, peanuts. Sherbet and fruit ice are the most dietary variations of ice cream . They have the least amount of fat. Fruit ice contains from 100 to 60 kcal per 10 grams.

How to reduce the nutritional value of a treat?
Even the most exhausting diet will not do any good if you don’t occasionally treat yourself to ice cream. According to nutritionists, including a serving of ice cream in your diet every day accelerates fat burning. This is due to the fact that carbohydrates (and there are many of them in the product) are easily digested and saturate the body for a long time.
Options for reducing the calorie content of a refreshing dessert:
- When making a choice in a store, you need to pay attention to the composition and ratio of the individual components of the product. Preference should be given to ice cream with less fat and minimal inclusion of “E” additives.
- It is better to make milkshakes from small amounts of ice cream by mixing low-fat milk and fruit syrup. The pleasure from this dessert will be no less.
- Add seasonal berries and fruits to the ice cream: watermelon, plums, currants, raspberries, strawberries, apples, citrus fruits, kiwi. The taste will improve, but the calorie content will increase slightly.
- Children's fruit puree can be a useful addition to dessert. It contains only natural ingredients and no sugar is added to it.
- The combination of ice cream and kefir or low-fat yogurt without fillers is an alternative to store-bought dessert. In this case, there should be three times more additives than ice cream.
The best option is to prepare a refreshing dessert yourself. It’s better to choose a recipe from your favorite ingredients and calculate how many calories it contains. And then there is no doubt about the naturalness (and therefore the benefits) of the product.

Agar
Agar is extracted from seaweed and is one of the main stabilizers in production. It has a fairly high pour point (about 40 °C), so it stabilizes (gels) the mixture very well even at room temperature.
Different countries (and different seas) use different types of algae and different technologies to produce agar, so it varies greatly in its gelling ability. The agar that is currently on sale does not need to be soaked - just heat it with water (agar dissolves at temperatures above 90 ° C) and boil for a minute until it swells completely to get a smooth jelly.
It is important to know that heating with acid destroys agar, so you should not cook or boil fruit ice cream bases with agar.
When producing ice cream, the gelling ability of agar is taken into account, but is not fundamental, so you can use different varieties of it without adjusting the recipes.

Are cold calories really that dangerous?
Is it really ice cream that is to blame for extra pounds? First of all, the sugar and milk fat contained in the delicacy are blamed, and the calorie content of ice cream speaks for itself: if there are calories, they will certainly be insidiously deposited on the sides.
However, it is worth considering other nuances. Ice cream is a cold dessert; the body spends calories to warm it up to body temperature. Fast carbohydrates are absorbed almost instantly, blood sugar levels rise, how does this affect your well-being? Many people note that if you eat a portion of ice cream on a hot day, your mood improves and the sleepy lethargy inherent in the hot period disappears. That's right, sugar fuels mental functions, it is thanks to this that consciousness becomes clearer and well-being improves. You could say that ice cream is a unique summer tonic.
Only excess, unspent calories are stored as subcutaneous fat. If you lead an active lifestyle, then the source of energy is not so important; it can be conditionally harmful ice cream or a large portion of healthy salad. Enjoy your favorite tastes in moderation, and your figure will not suffer.

Rules for eating dessert to maintain your figure
There is no point in giving up ice cream if you are not indifferent to it. But in order not to gain weight due to it, you need to follow the rules of a healthy diet and figure out when, how much and how to eat a cold dessert.

In the morning or evening?
In the morning, ice cream does not harm your figure, because at this time metabolic reactions in the body proceed quickly and all food is absorbed as much as possible. But a low-calorie product is still preferable.
If you eat dessert before bed, this will lead to increased cholesterol, accumulation of excess fat in problem areas, narrowing of blood vessels and, as a result, inhibition of blood circulation processes, and a feeling of heaviness in the stomach. After all, at night it is not able (and should not) process fats.
Is it possible after training?
After finishing physical education, dancing and other activities with increased energy expenditure, you can eat a couple of servings of creme brulee. But this should be done no more often than every other day. During the period of drying the body in bodybuilding, portions can be slightly increased. This is especially true for fasting days, which are held a couple of times a month.
How much and how to eat without harming your figure?
Even a healthy person should not eat ice cream every day; it’s good to do it three times a week. A serving of treats cannot replace or supplement any meal.
The best time for ice cream is afternoon tea. Then it will not affect digestion, and the delicacy will have time to be fully absorbed.
The best option for ice cream lovers who care about their figure is low-calorie dairy. But it is also undesirable to eat a waffle-chocolate cone. It is better to give it to the “enemy”. This ice cream is best complemented with berry jam. These recommendations apply only to natural milk desserts with a maximum fat content of 3.5%.
During weight loss, ice cream with icing or other fillings is contraindicated. It is permissible to eat only one popsicle or sandwich-type briquette per week; you can treat yourself to one and a half servings of ice cream in a glass, or eat two fruit briquettes without glaze. Men can afford slightly larger portions than women.
- In order for food to be better absorbed (which is especially important for those who are losing weight), it is necessary that the ice cream is not too cold. This is especially important if you eat it after the main course.
- A cold treat, along with all the food in the stomach, will be eliminated much faster. Saturation will not come, but the feeling of hunger will remain. Soon you will be tempted to have a snack, and this will lead to excess weight and gastrointestinal diseases. It's better to eat ice cream at room temperature.
